The Polkadot Blockchain Academy (PBA) is introducing a novel approach to its renowned educational program by offering remote access for the first time. Typically conducted in classrooms, the program will now extend its reach to a global audience. PBA Remote follows the same rigorous curriculum as its physical counterpart, focusing on essential topics such as cryptography, economics, game theory, blockchain concepts, smart contracts, and Polkadot technology.
Scheduled to kick off on May 20 alongside the in-person sessions in Singapore, this initiative is a collaborative effort between PBA, The National University of Singapore, and the Asian Institute of Digital Finance. The remote experience is tailored specifically for students applying to the Developer's track and is completely free of charge. Applications closed on April 5, with synchronous learning sessions allowing remote participants to engage alongside their peers attending the physical program.
Beyond its commitment to education, PBA is committed to promoting diversity within the blockchain sphere. By embracing remote learning, the Academy aims to democratize access to Web3 education, showcasing expertise from top instructors within the Polkadot ecosystem and affiliated organizations.
Founded by Gavin Wood, PBA operates under the guidance of leading experts from Parity Technologies and the Web3 Foundation. Its curriculum is designed to provide comprehensive insights into blockchain technology, utilizing Polkadot and Substrate as fundamental frameworks.
For those interested in joining the program and tapping into this invaluable resource, further details and application procedures are available at the official PBA website. With its innovative approach and commitment to inclusivity, PBA Remote marks a significant step forward in making blockchain education accessible to aspiring developers worldwide.
